    Explanation:

    length = 60m

    Width = 10m

    Height = 12 m

    Let Fb = Force buoyant

    Fb = pgV = mg

    p (density) = rho

    The density of water in this case = 1000

    g = 9.8 m/s

    Volume = lenght*width*height

    = 60*10*12

    = 7200m^3

    So we have

    (1000 * 9.8 * 7200) = mg

    = 70560000
